20 WWE Champions Who Never Got Their Rematch

17. Brock Lesnar

Title Lost: WWE Championship Lost Title To: Big Show €˜The Next Big Thing€™ was virtually unstoppable from the time he debuted in 2002. Brock Lesnar was the real deal, which he proved when he won the WWE title from The Rock as a rookie. It looked like with Paul Heyman in his corner, there was nothing that could derail Lesnar€ except Heyman himself. At Survivor Series, Heyman costs Lesnar the title in a match against Big Show. But in typical Heyman fashion, the double-cross was only half of the treachery. Heyman had it written into Brock€™s contract that he wouldn€™t get a title rematch, leaving Lesnar with no way to compete for the title€ until there was a new champ.A month later, Lesnar cost Show a title match against Kurt Angle. This in turn helped set up the Lesnar-Angle title match at WrestleMania XIX, so Heyman€™s treachery served a purpose.
